In 1964 a massive flood did damage to the PNW.   The Mt. Hood Corridor was hit especially hard.   Stephen Imeson was living in Government Camp at the time and went to school down the mountain in Welches.   He tells us his memory of the event and what Govy was like in the 1960s.

I quote a lot of wikipedia and Oregonian articles for this episode.   Sorry you all have to listen to me but there was a bunch of info I felt was relevent.
